CROS/BiCROS Technology

Introduction

A Contralateral Routing Of Signals (CROS) hearing

system is a type of hearing instrument that is used to

treat unilateral hearing loss. It takes sound from the

ear with poorer hearing and transmits it to the ear with

better hearing. CROS only picks up sound from the

unaidable ear, while BiCROS picks up sound from both

ears. This helps the patient to receive sounds from both

sides of the head without the head-shadow effect.

Multifunction Button Balance Control

Your hearing system uses the button to adjust the

balance between the hearing instrument and the

transmitter. This control adjusts the level of sound

coming from the transmitter. Press and release the

button until the desired level is reached. Each press

and release changes the balance level one increment.

NOTE: Balance Control is only applicable for

BiCROS memories.

CROS Streaming

Your hearing system is equipped with a CROS

transmitter. When you enter a memory with either

CROS or BiCROS streaming enabled, audio from

transmitter is streamed to your hearing instrument.

When CROS streaming begins you may hear an

alert tone. If for some reason the CROS stream is

unexpectedly interrupted you may also hear an alert

tone. Please ask your hearing professional about your

particular settings.
